Chapter 14: Carnival

In the evening, Ireen Shipton came to invite Chen Zifeng and them to participate in their city's never-night carnival, which is also an important event in the city that never sleeps.

Chen Zifeng accepted the invitation and led the team to the carnival party in the city center, but because the villa was located in the suburbs, there was a surge of people on the ground and crowded aerial vehicles, all of them were rushing to the carnival party in the city center.

This made all the members of the team look at this scene in shock, they had never seen such a scene of human beings, if you want to talk about madness, in comparison, even when the federal election for president did not reach this level, then there is a fight with the cult fanatics.

Fortunately, they took the car of Director Irene, under a communication from Irene, they successfully came to the center of the party, at this time there were about tens of thousands of people around the people's square in the center of the city, the scene was a luxurious party, the periphery was the holographic image playback of the live picture, the air was the operation space of the tuner, they stood on their own workbench, the workbench in the air on the independent small platform extended from the exterior, such a platform formed a circle.

In addition to the tuner on it, there are also performers performing on it, with the rhythm of the tuner's music, the platform jumps up and down, and the performer's platform can also move back and forth, which can better interact with the performance.

Of course, because they are all new humans, their strength is around the lower-level servant race, so it seems that the rhythm changes too fast, and with the platform vertigo will not exist at all, this is also a more fresh and exciting experience that strength brings to humans.

This is followed by the upper layer of the platform, where the upper layer of the space can see the people on the lower floor, and the people on the lower level cannot see the people on the upper floor at all.

Chen Zifeng followed Irene as they entered the real party carnival together, greeted by dazzling lights and a central suspended dance floor.

and moving levitating platforms, bringing people into the air, and dancing on the levitating dance floor, so that the ground is only an entrance to the party relative to the air.

As they stepped onto the floating platform and ascended into the sky party, the upper space was like a lavish party, with people dressed in gowns, chatting and toasting each other.

This kind of party style is very Western style, Chen Zifeng and they tacitly thought that this Xu Hongtao deserved to come back from the Western District, and actually brought back this kind of hierarchy in the Western District.

The people in the lower class carnival, all kinds of human nature are expressed, while the people in the upper class look at the various ugliness of the people in the lower class and take pleasure in it, which makes them finally understand why Xu Hongtao can turn City X into a city that never sleeps.

But none of this had anything to do with them, they were here to investigate if City X was the city of the Ghoul outbreak, and they didn't want to care about anything else, and there were so many of them that they couldn't take care of it.

Irene ordered each of them a glass of wine for them to taste, and then they chatted about the revelry of the lower class as they drank the wine in their hands.

Chen Zifeng said to Yilin: "I can't imagine that Mayor Xu Hongtao not only has business acumen, but also sees human nature so thoroughly, no wonder he can become a hot figure in the Federation in recent years." ”

Yilin said: "Mayor Xu is indeed a talent, but compared to you, it is even worse, after all, you were a well-known genius hero of the Federation more than ten years ago, I have idolized you since I was a child, but the practice of the Federation in the later period is indeed chilling." ”

Chen Zifeng said modestly: "They are already outdated people, and they are already content to contribute to mankind, there are still so many requirements there!"

And Miss Irene, if this is the case, it's just me, so you have to be careful when you talk in the future, otherwise you, the director, will be very incompetent! ”

Irene said gratefully, "What you taught me is that I have spoken too much!" ”

Chen Zifeng waved his hand and said, "I can't teach it, it's just a reminder between friends." ”

Irene smiled and flattered, "Yes, that's what you said. ”

Chen Zifeng said again: "Since we are friends, I don't want 'you' to come and 'you' go, I am going to get older." ”

After some nonsense about getting closer to the relationship, Chen Zifeng got to the point, and he asked: "By the way, Miss Yilin, as far as I know, your city has attracted a lot of people to come here by carnival parties, and even the economy of X City is driven by it, presumably the population of this city has increased a lot compared with before!" ”

Irene still smiled and replied: "Most people are indeed like what you think, but in fact it is not, since Mayor Xu led the transformation of X City, although the population surge in a short period of time is very large, but in the long run, the population inflow and population outflow are almost equal.

The reason for this wonder is that a large number of people were attracted in the early stage, but as the novelty faded, people who were slowly not interested or affected by other reasons withdrew from the city, and in the middle of the year, almost all the rich stayed here for a long time and bought houses in the city, and the rich people generally took vacations to relax here and socialize as necessary.

In the later period, a law was formed, and people who admired it came here to experience it, and the rich people relaxed and socialized here, but in the end they did not stay here, which also caused a stable phenomenon of population flow. ”

Chen Zifeng nodded clearly, and then asked, "Miss Yilin, when is Mayor Xu coming?" I'm here to get acquainted. ”

Yilin said unconsciously: "Mayor Xu has not been in good health recently, so I am really sorry that I was not able to welcome you in person today." ”

Chen Zifeng waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I just want to get to know Mayor Xu, since Mayor Xu is sick, we, as guests, should go to visit, and please bother to say hello to Mayor Xu, and also predict a time for us." ”

Irene said, "Okay, I'll definitely let the mayor know in advance." Then you guys play first, and I'll take care of some things. ”

Chen Zifeng hurriedly waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to take care of them here.

After Yilin left, Chen Zifeng motioned to the team members to start investigating the news.

The team members quickly blended into the crowd, Chen Zifeng also began to look for a target, and after two hours, the party had entered the climax, and a pair of partners entered the suspended dance floor in the middle of the party, dancing in the cheers of the people, even Feng Yin and Jiang Xinmeng were among them.

Seeing Feng Yin dancing with Jiang Xinmeng a little helplessly, Chen Zifeng blessed them from the bottom of his heart, and Feng Yin was an old comrade-in-arms who had followed him for more than ten years.

He was recruited into his team since he graduated at the age of eighteen, and they have been traveling together for more than ten years, and they have borne all difficulties and dangers, even he has been married, but Feng Yin has always been alone.

Although he saw it in his eyes, there was nothing he could do, Feng Yin was a person who was bored in his bones, normal people couldn't get along with him at all, and their work was destined to be the other half of the ordinary people, so he didn't meet the right one until now.

As for Jiang Xinmeng's young age, in fact, when it comes to their cultivation level, they can live for hundreds of years at every turn, and the difference of several decades is nothing, and the federation also stipulates that as long as human beings reach adulthood, they can get married and have children.

He was complaining about the wind and dancing, and suddenly saw a familiar figure in the corner of his eye, he hurriedly looked over, and saw a typical Western gentleman middle-aged man, sitting not far from the suspended dance floor, looking through the glass at the people who were reveling below, drinking wine in a goblet, while admiring the various forms of human nature.

Chen Zifeng stepped forward and sat opposite him, also looked at the crowd below, and said, "It's exciting, isn't it?" ”

The gentleman man replied, "Yes, it is indeed wonderful. ”

Chen Zifeng looked at him and asked, "Aren't you curious about my arrival?" ”

The gentleman man said, "With my ability, you think I will not know about your arrival." ”

Chen Zifeng said suspiciously: "Oh? What do you mean, you came with me? ”

The gentleman man put down his glass and smiled, "No, I'm just here to enjoy the rare scenery." ”

Chen Zifeng said in disbelief: "Are you talking about this party?" It's not hard to see in you in the West! ”

The gentleman man said, "No, no, no, this kind of party is just a party for me, and the scenery I want to see is extremely rare." ”

Chen Zifeng knocked on the side and asked, "Indeed, your vision has always been very high, and it is normal to look down on such a party."

But what is it about the scenery that attracts you here? ”

The gentleman man shook his head and said, "You'll know, but not now." ”

Chen Zifeng squinted his eyes and said, "You're just by yourself, aren't you afraid that I'll leave you here?" ”

The gentleman man smiled and said, "If you can keep me, just give it a try." ”

Then he got up gentlemanly and blended into the crowd after signaling to Chen Zifeng, Chen Zifeng immediately followed, he wanted to catch him, but he didn't want to cause panic, so he could only try his best to avoid the crowd and track the figure that disappeared quickly in front of him.

In this way, he followed Xun to the outside, and the two started a race, but Chen Zifeng's speed couldn't catch up with him, so he could only hang behind him all the time, and as a result, the figure completely disappeared at another turn, and he couldn't find the other party no matter how he perceived it.

There was no sound on the street except the sound of his breathing.

It was then that the team noticed his disappearance and immediately contacted him, saying that he saw an acquaintance and would go back for a while.

But just as he was going back, Xiao Jue suddenly informed them through the chip that he had found a very suspicious person, who had fled to the exit due north.

Chen Zifeng told them that he was not far away, and told them not to alarm the crowd and act as secretly as possible, and then he quickly rushed to the north exit.

At the North Exit, a small, superficially obscene figure is squeezing out of the party and running towards the dark street.

His speed is very fast, and his feet are like the wind, and his strength is probably about the same as that of the lower-level independent race.

He quickly entered the middle of nowhere, and hurriedly hid in the darkness of a corner, and after a while, when he found that no one was chasing him, he relaxed and took a few breaths.

Just when he thought he was safe, suddenly a figure enveloped him.

A voice said playfully, "Where do you want to run?" ”

He was so frightened that he got up and tried to run, but a hand grabbed the back of his neck and lifted him up, and he couldn't escape.

Only then did he give up his struggle and began to beg for mercy, but he still had luck in his heart and wanted to escape with his hind hand.

But the figure approached and said, "Rat King, I didn't expect to catch you here, how do you feel!" ”

The thin man known as the Rat Thief looked at the face of the catcher by the moonlight, and he panicked: "Yes, it's you, Chen Zifeng." ”
